How This Rate is Calculated

Okay, let’s tackle this. So Mike Parker has 29 years of experience in design and history, which is impressive. He has worked at several companies, including Font Bureau and Mergenthaler Linotype Co., where he held senior positions. His education includes an MFA in Graphic Design from Yale School of Design. Designers with his level of experience and education typically charge higher rates. Maybe around $150–$250 per hour? But considering his senior roles and Yale degree, maybe lower. Some designers with similar experience might average $100–$200. So I’ll estimate around $120
